BlackBerry Bold Beats iPhone to 3G

BlackBerry has announced their latest phone before Apple; however, consumers may see the 3G iPhone first.

The new BlackBerry Bold (model number: 9000) is scheduled to be available from wireless carriers around the world beginning this summer. Whereas, the 3G iPhone is likely to be made available within the next few weeks if rumors are correct.
